Well it’s all about applying the rules consistently. If Tedesco does a cover shoulder “bump” on someone like slater and as long as there no penalty then it will be fine.

What everyone really is uncomfortable with is that there is a rule for one and not another (slater has been protected his entire career for some reason) and if there should be different penalties for finals.

You may have a point here if Billy was the first one to successfully beat the charge.

Piss funny that people are still feebly trying to maintain that his arm was 'involved' in the tackle. Get the f**k out of here, the movement of the arms is essentially a natural reaction to the hit & the arms either by muscle memory or physics appearing to move to grasp the other player when it was plainly obviously that he never had any intention of tackling the player in any conventional way. It was a shoulder charge, the judiciary were hoodwinked by a clever lawyer & Billy ' I'm Protected, Suck Shit ' Slater got off. Once again.

So in other words, you got nothing. Ok let me explain again why he got off. For it to be a shoulder charge there must be no use of or attempted use of the arms. It’s been well documented here multiple times that Slaters arm are involved in the tackle. Therefore it cannot be a shoulder charge. It’s a technicality sure but that’s just how it is. It’s similar situation to both the Jack Whighton tackle and the Mick Ennis one, a technicality in the way the rule is written means that technically it wasn’t a shoulder charge. It will stay that way until the rule is changed. Have a nice day


Lol, you are utterly delusional.
